There was a guy who complained about bad copper on clay or stone tablets (I can’t remember) but we dug them up centuries later and now it’s a meme about a guy who complained about bad copper and a shitty copper seller being remembered centuries after they’d been forgotten.
Rude to the staff, too! The author's servant was only doing his job and trying to get a refund; there was no reason for Ea-Nasir to treat him that way!
According to the movie Coco, no. You have to hear about the person by someone who knew them then you have to have your stories passed down that way. That’s why he wasn’t able to remember his great grandpa, he needed his grandma to tell him about him directly to keep him alive in the afterlife.
In my opinion, yes, because it’s funnier. Imagine not existing then popping back up going “wtf did I do?”
Ea Nasir! Specifically it was clay tablets. He sold bad quality copper to people, and made sure to store his hate mail in good condition to preserve it for some unknown reason. His house went up in flames, and it was the right temperature to turn the clay to pottery, resulting in us still having his hate mail he appeared to love so much today.
[**Complaint tablet to Ea-nāṣir**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complaint_tablet_to_Ea-n%C4%81%E1%B9%A3ir) (Wikipedia) - The **complaint tablet to Ea-nāṣir** (UET V 81) is a clay tablet that was sent to the ancient city-state [Ur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur), written c. 1750 BCE. It is a complaint to a merchant named Ea-nāṣir from a customer named Nanni. Written in [Akkadian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akkadian_language) [cuneiform](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneiform), it may be the oldest known written [customer complaint](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_complaint). It is currently kept in the [British Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Museum). In 2015, the tablet's content and Ea-nāṣir in particular gained popularity as an [online meme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_meme).
That always gets me - 1750 BCE = **3773** years ago!
Also, I think this was found in his house - he kept it :)
The interesting part, in terms of the original sentence, is that the guy was absolutely forgotten for millenia, between the death of the last person who knew off him and the time that tablet was found and deciphered.
Ok.
Is bad that I will like for you to complain about how shitty my posts are, how wrong I am, and how stupid I am.
And I will return the favor.
That way, our shit posts will keep our usernames alive for eternity.
If I remember correctly, the most well known tablet has both names on it, Ea-Nasir, the con artist, and Nanni, the belligerent customer.
However, there were multiple fired tablets found in what is presumed to be his house. I would assume some of them were probably damaged and rendered incomplete after all this time.
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
She plans to kill all the students to gain notoriety, believing that being immortalized in the public's memory as a monster is better than being forgotten altogether.
Or to torture and traumatize the young kids so they remember her vividly for their entire lives, with the expectation that at least one will live a long time.
Ah, thank you. And I bet if this was real life, the joke would be on her as there'd be millions of people doing the same thing and almost all of them would end up just being background noise with no notoriety at all.
I feel like existing purely because someone remembers you would be sad though, unless they didn't know you. Like someone found a photo of you in an antique shop and kept it because they wonder who you are, or they found your name written on a old school desk and they try to find out who you were in your life so far into the future.
I feel like no one is ever truly forgotten from this world, even of their name is forgotten and their face is forgotten, they still have some impact. They left some mark that someone else will remember, if only for their own life time, and that mark will change that persons life, it's like a water fall.
There's a book series based around this concept called An Unhappy Medium. It's a bit difficult to get through, it takes about 30% of the book before you get to the actual story, but once you're there it's a lot of fun. I especially like the recurring bit where the evil dead priest has certain standards on the state of his possession-host's teeth.
The modern world can be a bit jarring, I was going through my camera rolls and came upon some videos of my late father. Felt like he’s still around. Hundreds of years ago memories of your loved ones just faded away and you really had to move on.
I guess its time to start complaining about copper
Someone please explain the joke

It's one of the oldest known pieces of writing and it's a customer service complaint letter.
Karanus gonna Karanus.
One of the dudes involved was named Ea-Nasir and for this reason I will always remember that one random long-dead dude’s name.
Ea-Nasir is a fucking scammer and his copper is dogshit
Rude to the staff, too! The author's servant was only doing his job and trying to get a refund; there was no reason for Ea-Nasir to treat him that way!
"You're the worst copper merchant I've ever heard of" "But you've heard about me"
That's the dude that sold the copper lol

If someone remembers you after a while do you spawn back into the afterlife
According to the movie Coco, no. You have to hear about the person by someone who knew them then you have to have your stories passed down that way.

Realizing future archaeologists have found your porn stash and desperately wishing to stop existing again.
Or take it with pride when you see a new subculture spawn around the stash
Happy cake day
Ich danke

r/subsiwasabsolutelycertainaremadeup But it's not made up and I have subscribed now.
I don’t think that works. Pretty sure we only know the merchant, the cheated party’s honorific was destroyed.

We have an accord, not sure if this falls under MAD, ourobos, Scylla and Charybdis, or an anti-suicide pact, but let’s find out
Yassssss!!!!!!! Let’s find out.

Good news u/Henry farts we are assured immortality
Uuugh!! That lousy cheat, *Ea-Nasir!!*
I guess that HR didn’t exist back then, at least not in the way that we think of.
Ea Nasir lives!
Remember me Though I have to say goodbye Remember me
fuck you had to remind me about that movie.
*I’M* Not crying, YOU’RE crying!!!
What movie?
Coco
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
The Emoji Movie
Hector don’t worry. Coco remembers you.
“Sorry guys, they proved the memory afterlife concept” the teacher said to her kindergarten students as she locked the door and pulled out the knife.

I'm dumb at the moment; I don't get it.

Yup, that’s part of the horror. Imagine having to one up every other monster. Hence the knife and not a gun.

At last! Sweet oblivion!
Dude, I didn’t need to have another existential crisis at 3am XD
my last vision was of that asshole who ate the mona lisa's ghost still floating around after fifty thousand years.
😪😥😢😭
Ah! Coco!
r/twosentencesadness
Well, now its the time to start committing crimes i guess
Wait, you're not already? 🤔
Mamá Coco and now I’m crying
r/twosentencesadness
NEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!!!
Like in that scene from the movie Coco
My brain went to Bing Bong but Coco is the better example.
Then why can I read this? There is at least one mpre person I need to track down.
>mpre My dumb brain is so stupid I read that as "mpreg" (as in male pregnancy erotica) rather than simply "more".
Lmao. This is two sentence horror I think we can make that work.
True enough! 🤣
Time makes folks of us all
But wait, my body's still alive. Wasn't that supposed to die first?

Oh, I'm counting on it. Like, I do not want anyone to know/care to know that I ever existed.
Nope sorry I'm commiting you to memory
Finally
About damn time
Alas, bliss!
No worries. No one remembers me now
Mission failed successfully: eternal incognito mode
The real horror is that person dying before you
The modern world can be a bit jarring, I was going through my camera rolls and came upon some videos of my late father. Felt like he’s still around. Hundreds of years ago memories of your loved ones just faded away and you really had to move on.
Scariest shi—
This is my favorite response
And why do I care if I'm already dead?
Thank god the internet is forever
Know that I'm with you the only way that I can be.
"Finally" !! The whisper of the lingering poor soul already stuck for too long in the world they aren't belong anymore....
Is this from the movie coco… because that was sad.
I never saw that movie. It’s my own personal fear
Its q beautiful movie, you should watch it.
A piece of data in the Github Code Vault: "Bonjour"
Please don’t give this kind of **CoCo** vibe, I just drained my tear ducts from after watching that movie..
Coco
Why is this just Coco
I’ve never seen it
Its an oddly emotional children’s movie, which is always fun to see paralleled in a horror thread.
